faculties that can give autonomy/independence Explanation: http://www.calameo.com/books/000107044aed5c27794ed شدی Kant defends himself against the charge: “To make up new words for accepted concepts when the language does not lack expressions for them is a childish effort to distinguish one’s self not by new and true thoughts but by new patches on old clothes,” he tells us in the preface to The Critique of Practical Reason, p. 11. 18 Whether Kant means an ability or a faculty is not clear to me. When Kant says that autonomy is a condition of being free, he seems to mean that it is an ability; when Kant contrasts autonomy with heteronomy, he seems to mean a faculty. Yet perhaps this distinction did not matter to him. The faculty of sight presupposes the ability to see, and if Kant had had a view, perhaps it would be that the faculty of autonomy presupposes the ability to make our own moral code. |
